Paul,
I do not recall that anyone sells the Peripheral port throttle housing
that is to be inserted into the rotor housing.  Do you know where I can
obtain these parts?  This may look easy to you guys, but without a lathe
I don't think that I can build these.  You have just about convinced me
of the advantages of peripheral ports, but it doesn't do me any good if
I cannot fabricate these.  Do any of you guys want to make a buck and
sell a couple of these?

Ken Powell

I will make a couple for you Ken. Are you going to install them?
can you handle the porting? Do you have a die grinder?
If you don't have a mill, and I suspect you don't, send me the
rotor housing you want it done on and I will cut the holes
and make the aluminum parts needed to insert into the holes.

What size intake tubes do you want to use? Hose clamps are fine
for this application as the pressure is near zero or even suction.
Dig up some throttle parts such as ball joints and send those too
so I know what to put on the throttle levers.

Paul, have you talked about this service before?  What will you charge?
regards, Peter.

I am only going to do one guys in the interest of R&D. Ken got to me first :-)
I would be standing at my mill from now on and I would never get anything 
else done :-)

BTW I think there are some off the shelf throttle arms and ball joints for
throttle linkages somewhere.
